Now there is a security flaw in iOS 6.1 that allows users to simply punch in a series of virtual and hard button presses to unlock an iPhone, bypassing the security passcode. The instructions are seen below in the YouTube video by VideosDeBarraquito:

A text version of the unlock is as follows:

First part:
-Go to emergency call, push down the power button and tap cancel.
-Dial 112 and tap green and inmediately (sic) red.
-Go to lock screen.

Ok...ready for second part:
-Go to passcode screen.
-Keep pushing down the power button ...1...2...3...seconds and before showing the slider "turn off"...tap the emergency call button and ...voilá!
-Then without releasing the power button press the home button and ready...

How come, with all of apple's incredible sales numbers and "pathetically tech illiterate user base" has there only been a couple malware outbreaks. MALWARE. Thats not even a virus or a worm or anything akin to the things plaguing windows over the years. Seems like it would be a great ecosystem for 'hackers' to take advantage of.

Gotta love this one. I ROFLMAO!!! I don't even know if he was talking iOS or OSx? Regardless which OS he is talking about, He's clueless. And good thing he does not write viruses, trojans, etc., for a living cause it would be a lost cause.

Yet, he clearly answered his own question.

quote: i'm still waiting for an ecosystem that compares to that of Apple's. Give me a killer objective SDK, hardware accelerated everything, *nix (bsd> linux) under the hood, and a base hardware set and i'll switch over in a second. why base hardware? so that you can do across the board updates for your approved devices incase someone finds a work around for something like a lock screen, but without having to accommodate for all the different hardware configurations that might complicate something like a OS update.

Now son, if you are talking PC OS, what you just stated above is WINDOWS. If you are talking Mobile OS, Android is clearly the winner currently. But...wait, lets see what happens a few years from now with Windows 8. Hopefully Windows 8 can compete with Android and iOS so in the end, all of us consumers win!

Nuff said. And if ever you wondered about MAC/OSX/iOS users, this should clearly answer all your questions.
